Happy Lunar New Year everyone!!!!
Apologies for being MIA for the last couple of weeks. Works really picked up for me and I find myself actually busy. But every now and then, I like to slip away and have the company pay me to blog.
Back to the topic:
As the Chinese would say - cung he phat choi, kung hei fat choy or however those zany Chinese spell it.
The Vietnamese would say - chuc mung nam moi
And that's all the research I cared to do for this topic. In either case, why did I set my title as it is? Simply because I want to cater to the masses, and to most folks, it sounds all the same anyways.
I already know a majority, actually... all the people that read this are Asian. So I really don't need to get into details about the holiday itself.
But I did find it interesting to see which other countries celebrate this event as well. I wasn't aware that Filipinos celebrated, but when I thought about it more, it made sense since they are essentially Chinese-Mexicans... I wasn't aware that Korea was a participant.
For those that care, this is the year of the Dragon. Supposedly in Chinese Zodiac deciphering, the year of the Dragon is the luckiest of all years. I just find it ironic that there are those predicting the end of the world this year. Now tell me how that's lucky...
While we're still alive, I wish everyone prosperity and happiness with all their future endeavors. (it's funny cause I always ended relationships with the same wish... #imajerk)

Reconnections and New connections
How is everyone doing so far this year? Resolutions still going strong I hope! Can't complain here. Work is work, the gym is the gym and that's all I do. I find myself still very reclusive in my new work environment. There are plenty of really nice and outgoing people, but I can't seem to find any justification to make friends pass the point of acquaintances. I want to go to work, update my blog and watch youtube clips. All from my phone of course, using work equipment is inappropriate (not to mention trackable).
Oddly enough, my presence at the gym is much more the "big guy on campus" in comparison to work, where I'm more of the new dorky transfer student. I guess its because I'm always there. I play basketball every afternoon with these guys. And I think I'm doing well so far seeing as how people tell me how much they like playing basketball on my team. I mean, I'm alright...
I guess I subconciously keep my distance from everyone where I am now. So knowing this, any ladies out there in the Ventura area looking for meaningless "casual encounters" as I like to call them, without all the strings and shit, get at me. #shamelessplug
I did want to talk about something refreshing that happened to me during this past winter break. I'm into cars, not excessively and definitely not in a "mechanophile" type way either (they F@#K cars). Long story short, I finally met up with a buddy to check out his vehicle and it really inspired me to get all the things I wanted to get done to my car, actually rolling. So I will keep you updated with the progress on that. If you want to know what car I have, get at me with a comment here or @O_Mega_Tron on twitter. (If you haven't noticed yet, I really want to be interactive with people that float through and get a chance to read "Diary of an Exiled Prince (self proclaimed)"). All my friends already know what I drive, but a big THANK YOU still goes out to all of them for their unwaivering support.
Along with my rejuvenated love for cars, I wanted to let everyone know of my recently acquired interest in guns. I was able to visit a shooting range this past weekend, and I must say... There's something absolutely invigorating about firing a weapon. When I say invigorating, it's a combination of excitement and deer in headlights type fright. I'm absolutely horrible as it stands, but by the time Zombies appear, I think I'll be in good shape.

Resolution?! More like Dissolution...
As the title states, let's talk about the over-hyped, just because "it's a new year's" RESOLUTION that most people set for themselves. (If you don't understand my reference in the title, god help our education system). Don't get me wrong, I don't knock on people that give themselves goals. And I don't knock the fact that they choose to do so at this time. But what I dislike about this idea will be illustrated in the following example.
Let's say I am determined to improve the way I eat and have set it as my new year's resolution back when it was October. Seriously?!? why can't I just start changing my eating habits right then and there in October? I'll tell you why, because I'm not ready (mentally), I'm prolonging the inevitable failure, and I'm going to stuff my face with obesity inducing foods that America is so abundantly stocked with. This is the honest truth. Things within people's immediate capabilities are what upset me, but I think it's because I hold myself to such a standard that it frustrates me when others can't. It's always been the weakness I tell people during interviews. I'm sure there are other factors such and monetary adjustments to eat healthier, which sucks... or "I'm going to finish off the junk food I still have because I can't waste food" (in which I fully support, being Buddhist, you go to hell for that shit #ai yi da FUCK'ed).
There are much more addictive habits that exist and setting dates at a later time might allow people to mentally prepare themselves for it. Let me illustrate this point. I use to be a cigarette smoker. I smoked for 7 years up until 2009. My goal was actually to stop on my birthday in 2008, but as I just mentioned earlier, I was not mentally and physically ready for it. Disappointed in myself for being a punk, I set it for January 1st, 2009. I did it though, I quit cold turkey for 2 years. Then shit got kinda hectic in 2011 and I picked it back up. Disappointed in me? Some were... But fuck it, YOLO my dudes. Don't worry, I've decided to quit again and I've been off of it Since the 1st. I'm pretty disciplined so I think it'll be okay.
Hmmm, do I have any other goals... Let me think about that one. Oh I do! I'm not getting any younger, despite looking like a 19 y/o at my age, and I think it's time to settle down in a serious committed relationship. Since you can't rush love, and looking or having it find you might not align with your calendar, I'm just going to let it happen. In the mean time, I intend on focusing all my efforts on care-free, gluttonous fornication with the absence of procreation. Ladies, get at me. #I'mawhore
I don't have any other resolutions, but I'd like to know what some of yours are. Hit me up @O_Mega_Tron on twitter! or leave a comment, do what you gotta and tell me what you're changing about yourself or your life for 2012.
If you can succeed, congrats to you. If you give up, just set a more realistic goal. But keep this in mind..
The world supposedly ends in 2012, so... you have like under 12 months to do what you can. Go figure, I'm ready to have a serious relationship right before we're suppose to die.

Happy New Year!!
Welcome to 2012!
I hope that everyone's holidays were fantastic. Please feel free to let me know of any exciting activities you were able to partake in and would recommend that I try. However, if you feel like you had the most "EPIC" Christmas Break and New Year's EVER... keep that shit to yourself, I'm not trying to feel like my holidays were shitty in comparison to yours. #hatehatehate
It's been some time since I've updated, but there is a reason for that. I only blog when I'm away from friends and family, isolated and able to think/reflect. Due to this requirement, this past Christmas and New Year's, I was at home and unable to update you all. I was with friends and my family. Granted I didn't rage out every night, it was good to be home. I did have plans to visit NorCal this weekend, but decided that being with friends and family to usher in the new year would be the more ideal course of action. After what happened on NYE, it was well worth it.
I was sick, the week before break and remain slightly afflicted to this day. They tell you that when you're older your metabolism slows down, you slow down and your wisdom grows infinitely larger. Your immune system also weakens, but goddamn... my lungs have been acting like some pansy ass bitches. Nyquil has been my accomplice the last few weeks, and I'm not gonna lie, I think I'm addicted.
The year has just begun, so there will be plenty of time to get into the nitty gritty of everything. But to keep up to date with me, follow me.
